got a shit ton of 3ds games recently n am going thru the ones that interest me whenever i have time that isnt being used for taking the cat off the curtains. so far that has been Ever Oasis n Code of Princess n FE Fates. i like them :]
#i havent gotten to finish ever oasis bc it requires a controller n im not sure if i have any that work ..#its a very cute game tho i enjoyed what i could get until that point#code of princess was an interesting find bc like. i never wouldve guessed at first glance that it was a fighting game ?#genuinely thought it was an rpg but to be fair the characters seem to think so too. which is funny#i never play that genre so i have no idea if its technically good but i got thru the whole story and i liked it :]#theres a lot of extra stuff i havent bothered with tho so the gameplay may not be my favorite thing (still fun tho)#but the characters are like. really really charming. even the ones that are sorta cliche archtypes have something fun abt them to me#big fan of ali n zozo but theres a lot of good ones#at first i thought ali was the classic het romance for the main character but then i realized shes not a man. then i fell in love with her#zozo just rules#and fates is a LOT more fun that i thought itd be. like i thought itd be not great bc people seem to talk abt awakening or 3h more#and i tried to play awakening before this but the tutorial n earlygame just wasmt doing it for me so i was worried for this one#but its?? really fun?? ive already finished birthright n im abt halfway thru conquest#it has a lot of charming characters as well but i like Leo n Takumi. for reasons u can probably guess if u know me. or the characters#i also like Kaden n Keaton.. n the whole Nohr sibling group.. the Hoshido sibling group are good too tho.. also the maids n butler..#so yeah thats what ive been doing :] havent had much actual free time bc ive been playing these on n off#while making sure Sunny doesnt get into shit#on that note ! back to fates#i wanna like. draw a page of characters i like from all these games after i finish more of em. thatd be fun

Mutuals Mutuals Come one COME ALL!!!
Put your various sona's and appendages together for the unveiling of a lil' something I've been working on while being distracted from animating Dame Aylin's wings (Its long, hard, fun as all hell but the concentration required to do so seems physically impossible for a beast of my genus)
I drew all my moots tavs/pseudo-companions!!! It took a bit, but it was well worth it! Everyone's design is so unique and fun to figure out. (10 is a big number of moots)((which I am very grateful to have :3)) So without Further Ado!!! (there will be so much more Ado):
(page break cuz the images are 400x400 each but 10 times, I also go on for a bit about how much I like each Tav/pseudo-companion character) ((if anyone can give me tips on how to size pieces in a normal style digitally i'd be very grateful))
Tumblr media
First of all is Sivvus the Fey Prince (he/him)! This elusive Eladrin Tav belongs to @thedomesticanthropologist! A gorgeous yet seemingly cold-hearted druid who tends to keep his cards close to his chest. Though if you want the challenge you can see for yourself if you can try and get close to him to see if Sivvus is as closed off as he seems to be. To be quite honest, Sivvus really grew on me. A very fancy Eladrin with a high society (fey society) upbringing ( with very good looking mood boards to match) and the like only for him to be thrust into the bg3 world with a worm to boot. He is charming! Also his backstory? <3 Defienetly go read it! 10/10 would draw the snob again :)
Tumblr media
Second off we have Gum (He/They)! A Githyanki Cleric of Mystra. Being @piipaw's Tav you'd find this charming fruit lover trying to live a peaceful life after escaping from the creche that raised them. I like Gum a lot as the concept of a githyanki trying to find their own way in Faerun while also having no idea about any of the social customs is very gripping to me. I recommend greatly to check out the blog for Gum fics, fanart and a very cool moot . :)
Tumblr media
Next is H'rayn of Verkos (she/her)! Now different from all the character's I drew, H'rayn is not a Tav! She's actually a pseudo-companion character with a lotta lore and history! She even has her own quest, party banter, approval and disapproval things. It's the whole deal!! @githkisser made an amazing post all about H'rayn . If you want a ton of indepth and fun info that's really really well documented, I cannot overstate how much you should it check out! I find myself going back to learn more about H'rayn as she really is as well thought out as in game companions! It's quite fun thinking up of ways tavs can interact with her and the art is mwah!!! very good indeed :3
Tumblr media
4th! Tavern (Tav) the Bard! (they/them) This darling bard ran away from the circus.....from birth! Created by @avocado-writing, Tavern plays their way into your heart with their silly antics, warm heart and eldritch pocket dimension in their chest!
Tavern is a doll to doodle and I am amped to draw them even more in the future. The heterochromia and the inclusion of instruments does make them a fun challenge (i will draw instruments accuratley with these paws eventually). Go check them out!! :D
Tumblr media
5th! Hvinidyr the Barbarian (he/him)! @star-bear-art (I just realised after all this we aren't actually mutuals. Which is funny since we kinda have the same name and theme with the bear thing XD) If you wanna see wonderous art of Hvinidyr as well as the other companions, go look right over here!
Winnie (Hvinidyr) has a lot of forms depending on the time period you wanna look at. The one I chose was the most recent with the large scar tissue all over the left (right? I'm horrible at directions, my paws don't make an L shape for me to tell). He was really fun to sketch out (and probably later colour in) and has a really unique design that I appreciate :)
Tumblr media
6th Vierlin the Enchantment Wizard (and a lil' bit rouge)!!!(she/her) @sybaritick's Tav!!! Now!! This classic drow has a keen intrest in enchantment magic, teaching her crafts to nobles in Amn. After the whole tadpole fiasco, she also finds another use for her multitude of arcane skills. Most notabley depicted with a local wizard.
Now I won't get ahead of myself here but the fics that Sybaritick wrote about Vierlin are like....licking a warm pan of thickened maple syrup or a fancy meat meal with so much demi-glaze you're left smacking your lips for at least 20 mins after eating. Its indulgent. And I couldn't recommend it enough!! Read it!! (it took me a good 8 times to get the 'ie' part of Vierlin's name right, the letters look the same to me)
Tumblr media
7th Fink the Spores Druid (they/them) belonging to @causticcontemplation! They're a pretty short Tav a 2.5ft and have a whole modern AU fic about them!!! You can read all about it here! (the pun name is amazing!)
I found it cool to use the fic to figure out how to colour them in, I ended up sending an anon ask instead and it helped great! Lovely Tav 10/10!
Tumblr media
8th Korydass the Druid!! (She/her)!!! Conjured by @cfcreative, this seemingly non-emotive bronze dragonborn lights a spark in viewers as her tail and love for nature portrays otherwise. Art of Kory is many and also very good. Reading through her lore is fun watching her dynamics with the different origin characters change as she opens up to the party.
Now I do have slight bias, I like drawing Kory the most since her head shape is less humanoid. It's just so satifying, also her design is crazy awesome to work with so all around its great recommend I like her a lot :3
Tumblr media
9th Asheera the Paladin (she/her) produced by @optiwashere.
To be quite honest I wouldn't even have a blog if it wasn't for Asheera's fics. They are EXCELLENT. If you want to go through a journey of a half orcs struggles, successes and gripping romance with Shadowheart, VAULT YOURSELF into Opti's A03 page and devour. You will have negative regrets about it just like I! Asheera is great I love her a lot I am the most normal about her.
(I'll keep it brief since this post is long enough to cross a river)
Tumblr media
10th Quin the Bard (he/him) composed by @quinthebard (who'd have known?)
This darling plucky bard is the star of an ongoing comic that is very dynamic and very gripping. (My fave panel is this one). Despite being 100, Quin still maintains his joyful and kind nature when traveling with the tadpole gang.
Definetly one of the most friendlies Tavs out of all the ones i've drawn. (he was also the first i drew out of all of these!) He's a delight!! Go check him out! Thanks to all my moots for giving permission, having such great characters and being such lovely moots! <3 <3 <3
(Any pronouns or other changes that want be changed, feel free to DM about it. I love those! )

Can I request a Hirugami Sachiro fluff wherein the reader accidentally/unintentionally confesses her feelings >^<
I rlly love your writing!! I dont see much hirugami posts so id rlly appreciate it if you wrote this!
a/n: so so so sorry for my absence ^^; thank you for your support and im happy you enjoy my writing! Lightly edited, feel free to lmk any mistakes :)
Spring just might be your favorite season. The cool wind, flower blossoms, and calm days at the park with your best friend, Sachirou, and his pup make it hard for other seasons to compete.
“I’m gonna take her for another lap around, wanna come?” he asks, beckoning the playful Maltese puppy, who’s the same shade as his hair with two taps on his thighs. The only word you can think of to describe him is perfect. The bright blue cloudless sky and green flower-dotted grass seem like they’re only as radiant as the man standing in them in front of you. His smile is dazzling and his white tee tight and khakis show off his physique.
You say you're still short of breath, hoping he couldn’t tell that you were gawking at him.
he nods, turning his focus to the Maltese and grabbing her leash.
Only once he’s out of sight do you smoothen out your floral dress and take a swig of the ice-cold lemonade he had packed in the basket holding the rest of your snacks. It’s one thing to find your best friend attractive. It was a fact that he was gorgeous. Whether it was you two walking through the halls, attending his volleyball games, or going to the park for a picnic, Sachirou always seemed to draw the attention of everyone around him. And just a light brush to his curly hair would have any girl falling for him. But in love?
You can tell you’re pushing it. Even if your diary has his name written on every page with hearts around it, you know he’s not yours. You’re his friend, and friends are only meant to be friendly.
So how come when you see the two run back a few minutes later, your heart skips a beat and you let yourself pretend the two- or three of you are on a date? After hours pass of talking, running, drawing, singing, dancing, and eating, you both decide to wine down at his apartment.
“I just feel that she’d be much better with the side character. I mean, they have way more chemistry.” You say in between snacking on a random bag of chips you grabbed from the basket.
“You’re better than me. If she ends up with the bad boy as a cliche, I might shit myself,” He says, laughing when you scrunch your nose to him and let out an airy laugh. You think you see his cheeks go pink, but before you can ask about it, his dog jumps between you two.
“Hey! Down girl!” He says leaning back to avoid being hit by her tail while you hide your chip bag and move to cuddle her, giggling over how Sachirou shouldn’t be so mean to her.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d believe she’ll to steal you away from me. Am I not cute enough?” He coos with a fake pout. Even if he is teasing, you can still feel your heartbeat spike.
“How could anything be cuter than you, Sachi?” You say subconsciously, still playing with his dog. It’s only after a couple beats of silence that you realize that was definitely not said in your head, and you feel a wave of embarrassment.
“I don’t know why I said that...” You mumble, not daring to look up and see his reaction. No matter how many excuses you tried to think of, none of them negated how obviously unfriendly you meant that.
“Listen I’m so-“
“Do you mean that?” His voice is soft, and against all of your reservations, your head turns up to face him. His lips are slightly parted, and his cheeks are flush.
You can’t find it in yourself to lie to him when he looks at you like that. So against the butterflies threatening to escape along with the chips, you breathlessly say yes.
His dog jumps from your lap, running off to somewhere you can’t bring yourself to focus on because his body is getting impossibly too yours. To the point where your fingertips are ghosting each other.
“How do you feel about me, really?” He asks his face now close enough that you can feel the shakey breath he lets out after the question. His eyes are steady on yours, but only for a beat does it flicker to your lips and you try your best to swallow the lump down your throat.
“I......What I feel for you is stronger than friendship. It has been stronger than that for a while now,” you confess, leaning into him with a rush of courage. “Is that... okay?”
“Is that okay?!” He squeaks, his voice cracking before tackling you down on his couch in a hug that almost knocks the wind out of you.
“Can’t... breathe,” you gasp, making him spring up and apologize profusely.
“A simple ‘yes’ would’ve been good,” you say, not being able to hide the elated grin pulling at your lips.
“It’s more than ‘okay’, stupid. Oh my gosh, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this? Being in love with your best friend is a bigger cliche than that movie we were watching.”
If the hug didn’t make your heart skip a beat, his confessing he’s felt the same way as you make your heart feel like it’ll stop right here.
“Tell me about it.” You say, watching his breath hitch before moving his hand to your cheek, pulling you closer to him by his feather-light touch moving to your chin.
Wordlessly, his lips catch yours, and you feel your head spin. His kiss is soft and intoxicating, but so passionate you’re left gripping on his shirt. You both pull back for hair, and his eyes glint like he’s looking at the stars.
“I love you.” The words are easy and flow effortlessly from your lips like they’ve been said countless times before.
“I love you too.” He says, with that same smile that’s always lit everything around him up.
Softly, he pulls you into his chest, reviling in the realization that all of his feelings have led up to (what was) his wildest dreams coming true.
And when you hear his heart hammering against his chest as he presses his lips softly on your forehead, only then is it obvious that there is no better season than spring.

you WILL perceive my OC process / thoughts / ETC . had an idea for a game the other day while in the shower (they weren't kidding that shower can think) . two main characters they are sisters , you start playing as the older one ETC , and the idea is that she is withdrawn , nervous , responsible and insecure about where she is in life (she is about to start college this is important to the plot but not for what I'm talking about rn) . first instinct was to give her short spiky black hair
Tumblr media
first thing I drew (did a couple alt hairs tho) but I felt like the expression did not match what I was going for at all (she is the type to try her best to look calm and reliable) , and neither did the clothes which I drew with the beauty of the opossum in mind . very prevalent today for no reason still a wonderful animal . I did like the hair though and I wasn't ready to give up on the opossum vibe (lol) , so I decided to do a paper doll type thing and start drawing by clothing layer so I could go slowly and think about what she'd be wearing
Tumblr media
did not have the willpower to try & make the hair look the same in the paper doll version , didn't wanna overthink her expression either so I really ended up with a completely different character . . . who I really like !!
I have always wanted to do a story set in a cold climate , really had an idea for a different character back in high school (blonde, earmuffs, cheeks are always pink), but gave up on her when I just couldn't figure out what I wanted her to look like . . .
I got the idea for this character to be either in the 3rd or 4th year of high school , she's pretty much an outcast out of habit at this point , enjoys taking walks and being in places she has no business being in . I thought of her being talked to by a teacher (librarian?) on the subject of not just her grades but mostly her behavior at school, gives me the chance of saying if there is something bothering her and affecting her behavior then there is something she needs to get over but I really dunno how to write (think) about something like that ;_;
Tumblr media
^ her & her bag . . . NOTHING IS TO SCALE !!!!!!! she has:
- notebook: ripped the used pages from a previous notebook and just kept the empty ones, the thing is beat up to the point the spiral's coming off and the corner of the cover is peeling off ... the cover design is a cloud castle with rainbows , a bundle was on sale and while she doesn't really like it , she doesn't particularly dislike it either .
- pencil case: heart-themed , the fabric is starting to fray after years of use . in it she has: a highlighter, a ballpoint pen, a regular pencil (chewed up), a tiny colored pencil, a container + sharpener combo, and three erasers: one of them is just a formless little thing, the other is a brand new one that she doesn't really wanna use because it's brand new, and the last is one of those useless decorative ones, shaped like a flower. no white-out because she is very very brave .
- water bottle: literally just a plastic bottle she bought a while ago & keeps washing & reusing . getting more & more crumpled up by the SECOND . . .
- strip of paracematol: self explanatory . doesn't get headaches TOO often, just often enough to justify carrying a strip of it around lol
- juice box + tupperware: her mom cuts apples for her and always gets her apple juice cause apples were her favorite fruit growing up ... she really prefers oranges now but doesn't have the heart to tell her . tupperware also has soda crackers . must be mentioned that this is NOT her lunch, just a snack. she gets free lunch at the school cafeteria ! only tasty less than half the time tho ....
- library card: she uses it a lot and has been doing so for a very long time . usually reads non-fiction about unexplained events (she likes ones involving forests the most), but is starting to enjoy horror & sci-fi a bit more lately
- Frankenstein (borrowed from the library): her current read, which she is really enjoying , though she's not sure if she is really getting the "message" of it . happens a lot with fiction books, which is why she doesn't read a lot of them
- flashlight: permanently borrowed from her dad (he insists he's gonna ask for it back eventually so she needs to take good care of it), she uses it for exploring. it gets dark pretty early and the library closes pretty late, so she just goes wherever she wants while her parents think she's at the library . they believe her because she does spend a lot of time there and she keeps feeling guiltier and guiltier ...
- opossum plushie: pretty much her best friend, she carries him everywhere . very soft fur , nice and squeezable too !!
OK ramble over for neow maybe . . .

Creations AU FNAF 4, But I obnoxiously over explain it PT 1
Pages 0-29
Holy shit remember when I said there were "Side comics"
Lmfao yeah they go more in depth.
We're starting with FNAF 4 because as of rn it's the first in the timeline of comics I've made. SL will be next and imo has the shittiest art because I was hurting myself with every page of that damn thing.
Content warnings I guess: bad things happen to fictional kids because this is fnaf lmfao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I forgot wtf the faded words say but I'm pretty sure they're all written from William except one which is from Josh. Fuck if I remember which tho XDDDDDD
They're all talking vaguely about the incident.
So I'm going off the bold assumption you've seen the over explains for the main AU and will be talking about FNAF 4 from that perspective: Honestly the biggest hurdles in the Creations AU over explained is just how much I dump about the games, the AU as a whole, spoilers what to AVOID spoiling ex.
(Like...What I FEEL should be common knowledge I sometimes say, but then I realized: Holy fuck most of my current tumblr followers are ZELDA people who might just be reading cause they like my stuff in general and have ZERO Fnaf knowledge lmfao I'm very sorry if I don't always communicate things from the games specifically well.)
If you're here from the Creations AU MAIN comic over explained:
We are all to aware Elizabeth is dead and Cody has SEEN said incident, which gives a lot of insight into his character going forward in this comic.
This is based on the fan theory crying child saw Elizabeth die. I honestly dunno how much merit that actually has in CANNON but it's a fun story idea for Creations at least lol.
Circus Baby, the animatronic pictured was the one that did the deed.
Tumblr media
So funny story: I actually like Josh as a character MORE after drawing FNAF 4 X'D and I will get into why. He's been the butt of the "I hate this character" joke for a long time but now the script has flipped because I actually like him a lot from a character standpoint but the audience couldn't stand his ass. (Reasonably he's awful lmfao) I didn't HATE him in SL I mostly hyped up how much I "Disliked" him If I hated him, I wouldn't draw him lmfao but I find he's 100xs more interesting as a person in FNAF 4 because he's WAY more flawed and his vulnerabilities are on full ass display here.
So dialogue wise: Josh goes on an absolute anger filled tirade on Cody merely taking a look into his presumed dead sister's room.
Their mother is out of the house under false pretenses, and beats Josh. She doesn't do this to Cody apparently which is clearly causing resentment. We can already make some assumptions about Josh's behavior due to his mother's abuse. Being, he repeats said cycle of abuse onto his younger brother.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's a bad person lmfao and I won't justify his shit but I can completely understand why he's acting this way. Bro should not be in this situation.
William's "Checked out". Presumably not emotionally available or even physically considering Josh is looking after his brother.
He's being FORCED to basically parent his younger sibling who he dislikes STRONGLY, which uh. Makes older siblings carry a LOT of baggage later in life and in the moment is clearly doing NO ONE favors. He's also VERY CLEARLY not emotionally capable of dealing with a child. Which is just irresponsible as hell on his parents ends. That is a recipe for a complete trainwreck as we will very soon see.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh. The bear talks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hide and seek with high stakes. I got nothing much to say about the scenes directly tied/based to the minigames as they mostly speak for themselves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Josh is a dick, that's evident.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some of yall might not like it but I'm going on both Josh and Cody's perspectives here lmao. Deal with it
I would also lose my patience with a screaming child throwing an absolute tantrum. But on Cody's end, I wouldn't wanna go to Freddy's/Fredbear's either considering HE SAW HIS SISTER DIE THERE.
Josh's reasoning for bringing Cody makes sense though: Their dad is here and he can spend time with his friends. Josh's friend Lucas points out they're technically "Banned" from Freddy's. And she's cheating. According to Josh. Which just makes her leaving her son with his abusive older brother to cheat even more insulting/disgusting. Oliver Blondie with the green shirt is disturbed by Josh trauma dumping lmao. Richard cracks jokes about Josh's mom's affairs. Josh like Michael and William are British which Richard not so elegantly makes fun of. You'll notice a significant LACK of Michael here. More details: All four of these boys indulge in bad habits. Like smoking.
I WONDER WHY. Sarcasm aside, it's almost like abusing your kids results in them lashing out in horrible ways, mostly self destructive...
As we know Richard's dad is a freak who sleeps with married women and Josh's mother's known for infidelity. And all four smoke except Lucas apparently.
The "Josh you of all people would know I don't smoke" line is a play on the fact they're in a relationship and kiss, because Lucas and Josh's relationship is not subtle at all.
I find it amusing they all blame each other for Richard's stolen cigarettes as it's clear Josh and Oliver are behind it but MOSTLY Josh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, he did the bare minimum of leaving him in a place he THINKS is safe, with a way to get back to the house?
Josh this is still shitty as hell. X'D
Lucas continues to be the only one in this friend group with a brain, also I do like how he nags his boyfriend and his shitty parenting choices for his brother lmfao.
He won't DO anything about it but he'll point it out.
Tumblr media
Fredbear we can see this.
Tumblr media
HAH SCARY.
Tumblr media
Haha trauma.
Tumblr media
Not now son Daddy's helping people into fur suits.
Tumblr media
Yeah closing the door doesn't help this situation. Poor kiddo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My bro wanted him to fall lmao. That would have been funny but nah.
Josh is playing on a 3DS because it's funny.
He at least fed his brother. Bare minimum parenting there buddy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not Josh getting annoyed because Cody says something scary he didn't personally tell him. X'D
He gives a half hearted attempt at advice...? Comfort? idk what you'd call that lmao.
And okay fr from Josh's perspective his brother is just acting like a ungrateful cowardly brat. X'D That doesn't make what he does right but like: Would YOU Believe him if he told you he "Saw" someone get eaten by a robot lmfao????
Children lie or misunderstand things. And Josh is old enough to know how these things work. He knows they're people in costumes or just lifeless things on the stage. Or at least they're SUPOSED to be.
Josh amusingly telling Cody he can walk is funny when you think he carried him TO Fredbear's last time.
Because Josh is a dick.
I don't have a lot to say about Cody's behavior because it's self explanatory. He saw his sister die here, his fear is justified and has an obvious reason. He's failed by the people around him ESPECIALLY his parents.
Tumblr media
This is just more NPC dialogue in the minigames. Not much to say.

Other stuff: He lost his arm and both his brothers in a car crash, his dad left home and his mother is almost always working or on a business trip, so he's pretty much alone unless he’s with Xeno. Very dark past but he hides it all with sarcasm and sass. Has dyslexia, loves dogs, sometimes goes on long runs through the city. He hasn’t actually dated anyone yet other than Xeno because he’s actually really scared to ask anybody out. Always ends up crushing on the super popular kids who already have girl/boyfriends (Xavier is a total bi disaster). He won't admit that he’s LGBTQ+ to anyone, and he’s super anxious when he’s crushing on a guy because he still refuses to admit he’s bi as f***. Swears a lot (especially at Xeno lol), can’t sing to save his life but he loves music. He has a long scar on his face and down his back from the car accident. Is super self-conscious about his prosthetic and tries to hide it by wearing things with long baggy sleeves. Back when his depression was very bad, he tried to kill himself (with a knife), but he managed to make himself stop. Xeno’s now helped him away from this state. He drives a 2002 Ford Ranger that’s covered in decals, but he regularly helps other people with fixing up their cars. Prosthetic left arm, doesn’t know how to ride a bike, terrified of needles, gets severe depression on some days, sleeps with a knife under his pillow, really jumpy, has murdered a few people (six to be exact), stressed out mess when he’s alone, allergic to alcohol, swears a lot, can’t sing to save his life (he can rap tho), wears a chain necklace and gold stud earrings, wears jeans and sweaters 24/7, spends like 15 mins trying to get his hair perfect, self-conscious as hell, has a dark sense of humor sometimes, is accidentally romantic and sweet when he thinks he’s really bad at being in a relationship.

I know imma lil late for the WIP title game but I’m here!! lol anywayyyy i was looking thru and there are just so many to choose from i was like imma ask about this one oh no wait what bout this one?? lolol but seriously for my ask i have 2 and you can choose which one you wanna do but it’s the Poseidon and Ms. Lafayette parent teacher conference or the fed kidnapping one which 👀👀 I’m actually really intrigued by but whichever you choose lol 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Hello there, dear friend! You are not at all late, but I am so excited that you decided to send me an ask even though you thought you were! 💙
You are too sweet - there ARE a lot of potential ones to ask about, lmao, because I have no chill and make notes about every idea I have. And I'm happy to say that I've actually already answered the Poseidon-Ms. Lafayette parent-teacher conference one here...
...so you're going to get an answer to both! I am honestly SO thrilled that you asked about the Fed kidnapping fic, because I have been DYING to talk about it! The amount of space it takes up in my waking and sleeping thoughts is CONSIDERABLE. Just the outline is right now is as long as [conduct not unbecoming]! 😭 I'm still holding a lot of cards close to my chest regarding this fic, but I'll give you some basics, and a tiny snippet of my outline! But before I do, just a heads up: this fic is actively going to explore darker topics and themes than I've explored in any of my published writing thus far. Characters are going to get seriously physically and psychologically hurt, face some pretty sadistic enemies, and have to reckon with some really intense moments. Because it is me I can promise 1) no major character death, and 2) a happy ending, but there will definitely be suffering before that happens. See more below the page break. 💙
Essentially, it is going to be one long sequel to my entire 'Percy's senior year (mis)Adventures' series (you'll see why once it's out), and it will be set just after his sophomore year at New Rome University. He and Annabeth are back in NYC for the summer, Annabeth has an internship, but he's still trying to figure out how to spend his summer. He's got some tentative hopes and plans, but because he's Percy Jackson...well, does anything ever go right for him? Here's a chunk of what will become the first chapter. You'll probably be able to tell what I mean by 'Fed kidnapping' after this. 😉
"Percy absently unlocks the front door, arms full of bags, not looking up but calling to his mom that he's home. 
It's as if the apartment is holding its breath. No one greets him, he looks up, concerned. "Mom?"
A toddler's squeal is heard from the living room, and is abruptly cut off.
He doesn't even stop to put down the bags, palms Riptide but doesn't upcap yet, comes charging in…and is brought up short by the presence of men in dark suits surrounding his terrified parents and baby sister. More suits emerge from the kitchen, weapons drawn.
Percy thinks for a moment about fighting, but freezes when the suits in the living room also draw their weapons and point them at him. He stiffens and holds his bag-laden hands away from his body. Too many guns to risk an open fight, not in this setting.
A suit who looks like he might be the leader has been sitting in Percy's favorite chair, cool as a cucumber, the whole time. With everyone frozen, he stands and casually starts talking. He is bland and boring looking, very gray, and he looks oddly familiar to Percy - though he can't figure out why.
"Hello, Perseus."
"Who the hell are you?" (Angry but controlled, eyes darting)
"An excellent question. But we need not concern ourselves with those particularities right now." (Smiles placatingly) 
Percy gives him a withering look.
"Now now, none of that. Your country is in need of men like you, son." (Charming, but only barely, flashes an official-looking badge)
"If this is the beginning of some kind of weird military recruitment spiel, don't bother. I heard enough of those in high school. I'm, uh…a pacifist." (Wary, thinking frantically)
"A pacifist, eh? Been in a lot of fights for someone who doesn't believe in violence," Rattles off a brief list of Percy's history of school incidents. (Still barely charming)
Percy is shaken by how much this guy knows, but doesn't want to show it. How does this guy know who he is? Who is he?
"...so don't try to lie to me, boy. It won't end well for you." (A hint of real menace)
Percy wants to snark back, but his danger sense warns him to shut up…for now. Probably not for long.
"Now, if you're done with the smart remarks, this is how this is going to work. You are going to put those bags on the floor. You are going to turn around, and you are going to put your hands on the wall behind you. You will be searched and secured. You will not resist. And you will come with us, quietly."
Percy is still, mind racing. This is no military recruitment spiel. So why does the government want him? Do they still think he's a potential domestic terrorist, or have they discovered he's more than meets the eye? So he falls back on the old standby: making fun of his enemies. "Very original, 007. What movie are you stealing all the cheesy lines from?"
Lead Suit does not like Percy's attitude, but mostly stays cool - only small cracks appear in the armor. But he now gives a command, and suddenly red laser dots appear on the heads of his mom, Paul, and Estelle. 
"I don't think you really appreciate the gravity of your situation, Mr. Jackson. Should you not decide to cooperate with us…well, actions have consequences."'
...dun dun dun! So yeah, I think you can parse out where this might potentially be going. 💀 I'm actually incredibly excited to write it, to get it out of this abbreviated form and onto ao3! But I have to finish 'Percy's senior year (mis)Adventures' first, or a bunch of things won't make sense. 😉

Vocal Synth Headcanons as of March 2024
I wanna share my new headcanons as they've changed a lot and also I feel like tumblr will either ignore them or appreciate them quietly. These headcanons will include sexuality, romantic attraction, relationships, species, age, etc. <3
Before I get into this, I wanna preface this with how I view the vocal synth world in my head. In this world, vocal synths as we know them, are singers for hire and the engine(s) that they are on are the companies they work for. The companies that made them are their management team. So vocals like Miku and the cryptonloids have large management teams, aka crypton, but vocals made by singular people like independently owned utaus only have one manager. Some singers are just normal human beings, some are robots, some are literal fae, etc. But yea, the premise for all of this is that they are singers for hire.
Hatsune Miku:
Tumblr media
A literal robot. Built in with the personality and intelligence of an adult, but marketed as a teen idol to attract more customers. THE singer for hire at Vocaloid. There are multiple Miku's because she is in such high demand. The one I like to think about specifically is an older original V2 model that has been given more modern upgrades throughout the years. She is in a relationship with Gumi. Non-repulsed asexual, but like physically she has no parts for it so (cough cough I did write wireplay gumiku fanfic cough cough). Bi-romantic.
Gumi Meg Poid
Tumblr media
Human, around 24. In a relationship with a specific Miku. Is a single mother to Ryuto (Gachapoid). Very busy work schedule, but always tries her best to make time for her kid and her girlfriend. Lesbian. A good cook. Fell in love with Miku after singing with her a lot. Lives just outside the city in a little house with her son. Miku has keys to her house, but they don't live together because Miku is required to live close to the studio. She's a high school drop out because she found Ryuto. In this AU I have split up Megpoid (her product name) into a middle and last name. I do the same with Ryuto. The Poid family lol. (but not gakpoid because I don't have strong enough opinions about him to include him in this au. Maybe they're siblings idk).
Ryuto Gacha Poid
Tumblr media
Gumi's son, not biologically. Currently around 7 years old. Kinda sorta half monster/dinosaur thing? Born from an egg (inspired by the light reading I did of the gachapin wikapedia page one night). Gumi saw a box on her way home from school that said something like "please take me home" and assumed it was gonna be like a cat or something. She had planned to take it to a shelter instead of leaving it in the rain. Inside the box was a large off-white egg with green spots. She assumed it was some kind of decoration and was about to walk away when it started to hatch. And out pops a crying little baby boy with little horns and a tail. What the fuck, she can't just leave him there. And thus, she has a kid now. Middle name is Gacha because gumi thought it was silly how she got him sort of like a gacha game. He is able to suppress his monster parts, but they still come out when he's really emotional. Sweet hyperactive baby boy. Probably has AuDHD. Friends with a lot of the other Vsynth Kiddos, but besties with Mo Jin. Lowkey really into hard rock and metal music (because that's what he's good at singing, I will fight people please let him sing more metal).
Hua Mo Jin
Tumblr media
(ough my sweetest baby gorl aaaaaa more people should love you like I do. Some of what I'm about to write is canon from her character info on dsound so) Huamn, 6 years old. Surprisingly very tall for her age (I never draw her tall, but canonically she is like the average height of a 9 year old). Lives with her older sister, Hua Mo Ci, who she received her rabbit plush from. The rabbit plush scares everyone around her, but she thinks it's really sweet and takes it everywhere. She does not like hard foods, her favorite food is peony steamed buns. Autistic for sure. Also has albinism. Very quiet and doesn't talk much, but loves to sing. Does not get hired very often. Besties with Ryuto despite their language barrier. They're both working on learning English. I headcanon that her mother is dead and that she just lives with Mo Ci because it sort of parallels Gumi and Ryuto.
IA
Tumblr media
A literal alien from the planet ARIA. This is the human disguise she takes, but her actual form is kinda blob-like and translucent idk I need to draw it out sometime. Has a younger sister named ONE. In human years she's around 19. In a relationship with Flower. Non-repulsed Asexual (can you tell I'm projecting my sexuality onto the robots and aliens yet?). Her species reproduces asexually so she never really thought about it before dating Flower, but she's open to it. Romantically I'd just say queer. I mean she's not even human and her taking on the persona of a woman was kinda arbitrary. Enjoys learning about humans. Very sleepy, she never quite gets used to earth time. Prefers to wear comfy clothes when she's not performing.
ONE
Tumblr media
Again, an Alien from ARIA. Around 15 in human years. More energetic than IA. Participates in athletics at the school she's attending. Socially awkward and kinda shy. Somehow the more responsible of the sisters, she usually cooks breakfast because IA doesn't get up early ever. In a relationship with KAFU. Thinks humans are strange creatures. Romantically a Lesbian, but like in a gender queer way. Really looks up to her sister.
Flower
Tumblr media
Human. 100% a lesbian you can't convince me otherwise. Somewhere around 21 I think. Another single mom, but to twins this time. It's a whole story. In a relationship with IA. Somehow keeps attracting otherworldly beings into her life. Xin Hua is her cousin, they're around the same age and pretty close.
So here's her single mom backstory. When she was a kid she used to visit her grandparents for the summer along with Xin Hua. They had would play at the little park across the road (out in the country ya know?) and their grandma would always bring them fresh fruit to snack on. So one day she eats some plums and buries the seeds at that little park. And well she stopped staying at her grandparents for the summer. She returns years later after the death of her grandparents to help clean out their house and she notices that a plum tree has grown at that little park. She takes a break to go over there and have a plum for old times sake and 2 kids fall out of the tree like "Mom!!!" Oopsie, she accidentally created 2 plum tree spirits and now she's got kids.
She is a very tired single mother and still can't really believe that this happened, but she loves them all the same and does her best for them.
KAFU
Tumblr media
A literal robot. Created with the personality and intelligence of a teenager (16-17. KAF was 17 at the time of recording so KAFU is minor). In a relationship with ONE. Asexual grey-aromantic) Very curious personality. Likes learning things about ARIA from ONE. Very busy work schedule.
MEIKA Hime
Tumblr media
One of Flowers little fae kids. Around 11-12. Very bubbly and hyperactive, def has ADHD. Hyperfixated on plants. Attached at the hip to her twin (I mean like an unhealthy kinda codependency for real). Non-binary, They/She. Some kinda queer. Has a crush on Una. Friends with the other middle school age kids (Una, Oliver, etc.). Not very good at academics, but enjoys science. Has psychic powers. Their life is directly affected by the their tree so if the tree gets sick or hurt, so does she. Is a sleepwalker, often ends up scaring people in the middle of the night on accident.
MEIKA Mikoto
Tumblr media
The other fae child. Around 11-12. Not talkative at all, very blunt when she does speak. Maybe autistic, but could just be antisocial I'm not sure yet. Attached at the hip to their twin (I mean like an unhealthy kinda codependency for real). Non-binary, They/She/He. Some kinda queer. Hyperfixated on insects. Enjoys horror movies and novels. Hime's rock. Holds a bit of resentment toward Flower for leaving them alone for so long, but it fades after they start living together. Has psychic powers. Their life is directly affected by the their tree so if the tree gets sick or hurt, so does he. They prefer quiet study sessions with Oliver and find Una to be a little overwhelming at times. She enjoys learning about astrology from IA once she starts hanging around more often (when her and Flower start dating).
Kaai Yuki
Tumblr media
Human. 9 years old. Poor immune system, often gets sick (bc her voice provider literally had a cold at the time of recording her voicebank). Kiyoteru is her foster parent, but he does eventually adopt her. Really enjoys school and learning. Tutors the littler kids.
Yun Quan
Tumblr media
(if it's not obvious this is my fan design for her) Human, around 8. Tall for her age. Snarky and a rich girl. Very protective of her friends and very mean to everyone else. She's not allowed to wear makeup, but really wants to be able to wear it, so she just has a huge collection of lip smackers lip balm.
Otomachi Una
Tumblr media
Human, 11. Sees gumi as a sort of big sister / mentor figure since they share a management team. ADHD. Hyperfixated on marine life, specifically eels. Since she like canonically has different personas (Sugar, Spicy, and Talk) that all seem very different, I sort of have this idea that she has DID and that those personas her her different alters, but I don't have DID and don't wanna misrepresent it so I'm hesitant with that one. My other idea for it that I lean more toward is that they're her different ways of masking. So like Spicy could be her preformance mask, sugar could be how she is in everyday life, and talk could be how she presents in school. I know I (my autistic ass) have different masks for different social settings. Also Una is really into Scene fashion and 100% drinks Monster. She is in marching band.
Oliver
Tumblr media
Zombie boy. around 11. Soft spoken and anxious. has a pet bird named James. His whole family is some kinda monster. Self concious about his stitches so he covers them with bandages, but that just draws more attention to him. Does not like going to school or really in public at all. Afraid of water. Close friends with Mikoto and Yuki.
I have more but I've been at this for a while so I'll add to this later lol

Study Session #3 (Eddie Munson X Reader)
Tumblr media
Previous Part Next Part Masterlist Spotify Playlist
Summary: You realise your feelings for Eddie might not be one sided.
Word Count: 3.9k
Warnings: Mature readers only (18+). Smoking. Underage drinking. Arsehole basketball players. Future chapters will have smut. No use of y/n.
A/N: Apologies for this chapter taking so long to get out. Work and life got busy, but I finally finished it before the season finale of Stranger Things! Not sure if I'm 100% happy with it but I'm actually away on holiday from Friday so if I don't post it tonight it won't be till next week, after the dreaded finale . But in other news I'M MEETING JOSEPH FREAKING QUINN NEXT WEEK. Honestly so nervous, but AH so excited! Hope everyone enjoys this chapter, and for future reference, no matter what happens to Eddie in the show I will more than likely write my own ending. Canon who?
The library is empty as you and Eddie make your way to your usual table, and just like last time, Eddie picks the seat beside you.
“You nervous?”
A quiet chuckle leaves your lips as you put your bag down in front of you. “Should I be?”
Eddie grins, putting his pile of Dungeons & Dragons books down in front of you. “Maybe a little bit.”
Your eyebrows raise as you look at the stack of books he had grabbed from his locker moments ago. “Most people have chemistry and history books in their locker.”
“Well, those people are boring.” Eddie grabs a piece of paper from one of the top books and places it in front of you. “Ready for your first lesson, Angel Face?”
You look down at the paper and realise it’s a character sheet, ready to be filled out. “Uh huh…”
“You wanna base your character off that drawing in your book? It might help.”
“Um sure.” You reach for the book, flipping through it until you find the right page.
“So,” Eddie starts, “shall we go with a high elf for her race? Make her old and wise, but still ethereal.”
“Yep, that sounds good.”
Eddie moves his player handbook closer. “So with this race you get a cantrip, which is basically a spell you can always use without using skill points. It’s got unlimited uses. Still with me?”
“I think so.” You laugh. “So do I just pick a spell from that list that I think my character would have?”
“Basically yeah.”
You scan through the spells, smiling gently as you read through them all. “I kinda like the dancing lights one.”
Eddie nods his head. “Helps you in dark places, like dungeons and caves.”
“So it was a good choice?”
“There’s not such a thing as a bad cantrip. Remember this is a roleplaying game, it’s what you make of it.”
“Okay, so I just… Write it down?”
“I’ll write your notes.” Eddie smiles, grabbing a pen and the sheet. “Just start looking through the different classes.”
“But I already know what one I want.”
Eddie looks at you, surprised. “You do?”
“It’s the class you said the other day, the um, the-“
“Druid?”
“Yeah!” You snap your fingers, grinning. “That’s the one.”
“You sure you don’t want to look at the other classes?”
“No I trust you. It sounds fun.”
He nods his head, smiling as he writes the notes on your sheet. “You’ve got a lot of faith in me, huh?”
“Well, I’m still tutoring aren’t I?” You tease.
Eddie glances up at you, and as your eyes lock you feel heat creep up your neck. 
“Yeah… That’s true.”
“So um,” you lean forward, tapping your pen to the table, “what’s next?”
“So when creating a character you need to roll 4d6 dice and those numbers make up the stats here. But normally you roll the dice and fill in as you go along, but because I’m feeling generous, we’ll roll all the dice and see what we want to put where.”
You stare down at the sheet, nodding slowly. “Uh huh.” 
“You look overwhelmed, Angel Face.”
“It’s just a lot of stuff to wrap my head around. Can’t I just… Look at your character sheet?”
Eddie dramatically gasps, reaching for a black pouch by his books. “My tutor wants to cheat? It doesn’t work like that, but I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it.”
He opens the pouch and pours the dice onto the book, rooting through them to find the right ones. You pick up one of the dice, sliding it between your fingers as you watch the light reflect the flickers of gold.
“You’ve got a lot of dice.”
“Well, it’s not all of them. Got some more at home. Always get a fresh set with a new character.” He glances up at you, rubbing the back of his neck. “Just a thing my group does.”
“So if I play I need a set?” You smile, grabbing a dark red die.
Eddie’s eyebrows raise. “Yeah you will, if you wanna play. I mean, you don’t have to-”
“Do all this work and not play? C’mon Munson, I like a challenge.”
“A challenge, huh?” He grins. “Okay, you just need to roll these dice, add them all up, and take away the lowest number. We gotta do that six times.”
“Now you sound just like my math teacher…”
“I promise it’ll get more fun.” He opens his lunchbox and grabs a bag. “Pretzel?”
You smile, reaching into the bag and popping it in your mouth. “Thanks.”
You both share the bag of pretzels as you roll the dice, making a note of the numbers. 
“So uh… A band was supposed to play at the Hideout tomorrow night, but they dropped out, drummer’s sick or something, so my band’s been asked to play. Didn’t know if you’d be around.”
“I’m at a party tomorrow.” You frown. “It’s my turn to be designated driver.”
“Oh that’s cool.” He shrugs. 
“Next time though?” You say quickly. “Can meet your friends, or the fellow… Dungeon Masters.” 
“Sure.” He laughs. “They might just stare at you though, maybe drool a little. They don’t exactly get many interactions with pretty girls.” 
Eddie’s eyes are wide as he looks at the sheet, scratching the back of his head as he clears his throat. “So um, we just need to- the numbers.”
“Yeah.” You say quietly, heat blooming across your cheeks. “Fill in the blanks here. Got it.”
-
The party has already been going for an hour by the time you, Amanda & Stacey arrive. It looks like half the school is here, spilling out onto the front lawn of whoever’s house it is.
“Do you think Kyle’s already here?” Stacey asks as she checks her reflection in the rearview mirror. “Oh God, what if he’s already talking to another girl. Because, you know, we were suppose to be here thirty minutes ago.” She turns in her chair to glare at Amanda. 
“My hair didn’t look right!”
“Well we’re here now.” You sigh, parking up front. “So can you both stop fighting? It’s exhausting.”
Stacey rolls her eyes as she gets out of the car., adjusting her skirt that had ridden up in the drive “Whatever, mum.”
You bite down on your lip hard as she slams the car door shut behind her. You didn’t even want to come, but it was your turn to drive. Stacey and Amanda are dressed up to the nines, spending hours on their makeup and hair while you just changed into something that you are comfortable, and warm, in.  
“She’s just nervous about seeing Kyle.” Amanda says. “She thinks they might really hit if off. And who knows, maybe you and Chris?”
You scoff as you turn in your chair. “Chris Williams? What makes you say that?”
“Apparently he was asking about you. Stacey told me.”
You frown, looking out your window towards the party. Chris Williams, one of the most popular boys in your year, was asking for you? A part of you thinks you should be flattered, excited, but your mind wanders to a certain boy playing at a bar tonight. 
“C’mon, let’s go. Stacey’s already inside.” Amanda says, getting out of the car. You get out too, locking your car before catching up with her. 
“Try not to drink too much.” You beg as you approach the house. 
“Pfft no promises.” She grins, walking inside with you. 
‘Like a Virgin’ is blaring through the speakers as you enter. You and Amanda walk through the crowd until you find the drinks table in the kitchen. There’s a few bowls of fruit punch which you know are definitely filled with vodka so you grab a can of Dr Pepper. 
Amanda nudges your arm and points towards the living room. “Guess Stacey found Kyle.”
You turn and see Stacey leaning against the wall, twirling her hair between her fingers as she looks up at Kyle. Kyle was the ideal highschool boy. Tall, muscular, pretty blue eyes and that charming smile. Most girls in the year were chasing after him, just wanting one date with the famous Kyle Brown, captain of this years basketball team. 
“Looks like they’re hitting it off.”
Amanda scoffs. “He’s hitting it off with a new girl every week. As for me, I’ve got my eyes on Mark Steven’s.”
You glance at her. “Doesn’t he already have a girlfriend?”
She shrugs. “Doesn’t seem serious. I’m thinking if I get in there before prom, I’m set.”
You nod, quickly losing interest in the conversation as you sip your Dr Pepper. It’s always about boys, one way or another, with you, Stacey and Amanda. They crush on a new basketball player every week, feeling the need to date a popular boy before the end of high school. But you never care. You keep your head down, focusing on grades and papers and, well, how to tutor a certain rebellious student.
 You feel a knot in your stomach as you think about Eddie, playing at the Hideout on the other side of town. You hated how disappointed he looked when you told him you couldn’t’ go, but you wanted to go. The claustrophobic feeling of all these classmates around you made you feel on edge. 
“I think I’m gonna step outside for a minute. I’ll find you-“
“Mark!” Amanda yells as she moves past you, chasing after him into the living room. 
“Okay.” You sigh, walking out onto the patio in the backyard. The cold hits your flushed face and you take a deep breath. Great, your two so-called best friends abandon you at some random students house for the attention of two boys, that will be probably too drunk to remember them in the morning. So you’re now destined to stay outside, away from the crowds of drunk students playing beer pong. 
You think maybe if you stay for an hour, see if maybe they can get a ride home from-
“I wondered if you were gonna show up.”
You turn so quickly the soda nearly spills over your fingers. “Chris!”
He’s so tall is your first thought. Broad too. The letterman jacket clings to his muscular arms and shoulders, and you realise his hand covers the whole of his drink. You can see why he’s one of the best basketball players on the team.
“Hey, sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” He smiles, holding his hand up. “I come in peace. Promise.”
You know you a year ago would be internally screaming at the thought of one of the popular boys wanting to talk to you, but now you’re trying to think of an excuse to escape. “I should really-“
“You just got here, right? I saw Stacey and Amanda inside. They seem to like the punch a lot.”
You grimace at the thought of cleaning puke out of your car again, memories of last years Christmas party come flashing back to you. “Great.”
“Is that why you’re out here by yourself?”
“I just needed some air. I should probably head back inside.” You go to walk past him, but Chris steps in front of you.
“Stacey said you girls are going out Monday, celebrating your birthday. Said me and some of the boys could tag along. We can supply some party favours, y’know, booze.”
You have been so caught up in papers and tutoring that you haven’t realised it was your birthday in only a couple of days time. It was a tradition that you, Stacey and Amanda would always take the birthday girl out for dinner, and you’ve stuck to that routine since middle school. Now they’re suddenly inviting boys without even checking with you first.
“It’s suppose to be just a girl thing.”
“Well, it doesn’t have to be.” He steps closer to you. “Y’know, I always thought you and I had this… Thing.”
“Thing?”
“Oh c’mon, don’t tell me you don’t feel it.”
You wonder if he used the same lines on the girl you saw him talking to at school last week.
“Look, Chris, I think you’re really sweet, but I don’t like you that way.”
He takes another step and he’s so close that you have to strain your neck to look at his face. The way he looks at you makes your skin crawl. “You sure?”
You glare up at him, shoving your drink against his chest. “I’m positive.” 
You sidestep away, walking back inside and through the crowd until you find Amanda talking with Mark. You grab her arm, quickly pulling her away and ignoring her protests. “Well, this party is so much fun.” You say dryly. 
“Yeah it is!” She laughs. “Which is why I don’t get why you would drag me away from Mark freaking Stevens.”
You sigh. “Amanda, I-“
She stares at you expectedly. “What?”
“I feel really sick. I’m gonna have to go.”
“But we just got here, and you’re our ride home!’
“I know and I’m sorry. I wasn’t feeling right before I left. I should’ve said something. But I’m sure Kyle can give you and Stacey a ride home, y’know, when he takes his tongue out of her throat.”
“Fine. We’re still on for Monday?”
“Monday?”
Amanda frowns. “Ugh yeah, your birthday?”
“Oh yeah… It’s just gonna be us three, right? No boys. Just us going to dinner.”
Amanda’s mouth gapes like a fish as she tries to form a sentence. “Well, I mean- I might’ve mentioned it to Chris…”
“Amanda.” You say sternly. “Just us. 
“Fine whatever.” She sighs. ‘I’ll come and pick you up before school.”
“Thanks. And I’m really sorry for bailing on you tonight.”
“It’s fine!” She says quickly, walking past you to grab Mark’s attention.  
You stand there for a moment, eyes going between Amanda and Stacey. You’re sure you could have left, and they only would’ve known you weren’t here until they stumbled out to find your car. 
You walk out of the house, rooting in your bag for your keys as you near your car. “The Hideout it is.”
-
You park up outside the bar and can already hear the music blaring from inside. You get out of your car, hurrying into the bar to escape the cold. The smell of cigarettes and stale beer hits you first. But as your eyes adjust to the dim lighting, you look towards the stage and see Eddie standing up front, guitar in his hand as he performs. His face is lit by florescent red and blue lights hanging above him. You feel the butterflies again as you see him, strumming his guitar and singing into the microphone, sweat dripping from his hair and forehead  
Even as he’s singing his heart out, trying to play for the crowd, you notice most of them aren’t paying attention, slumped over in their seats, nursing their beers. You aren’t expecting this type of crowd, but how many other metalheads are there in Hawkins?
You quickly walk towards the bar, sliding in between two men slouched over the countertop. You wave your hand to get the bartenders attention. “Can I just have a coke please?”
At the sound of a feminine voice, the two mean either side of you raise their heads to look at you. You glance at them, holding your bag tighter. “Hi?”
“Don’t mind them. We don’t normally get your type in here.” The bartender says as he passes you your drink. “You lost or something?”
“No I’m here for the band. I know the singer.” 
“Eddie, huh?” He chuckles. “How’d that boy get to know a girl like you?”
“That irresistible charm I guess.”
You turn as the song comes to an end and clap. You’re the only one in the bar cheering loudly which makes Eddie pause before looking towards the bar.
 Eddie’s eyes meet yours for a moment and he has to do a double take, his eyes widening. 
“Holy shit.” He mumbles into the mic. 
You see the bass player move towards Eddie and whispers something into his ear. Whatever he says makes Eddie grin and nod.
Eddie steps closer to the mic, staring over at you. “I’m dedicating this cover to my tutor. She’s uh… Pretty cool.”
You quickly find a free table in front of the stage, wide eyed. He was playing a song for you?
As they start to play you can’t contain the grin on your face. Watching as Eddie moves around the stage before stepping towards the mic.
Oh, wow, man, I said
Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
Fuck man!
You sit forward in your seat, gripping your drink in your hand and tapping your feet to the beat as they play. 
Ow! Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher
Your hand freezes on your drink, eyes boring into Eddie’s as he watches you from the microphone. Fuck, if you weren’t sure on his feelings for you before, you certainly know them now. Eddie Munson isn’t just on your mind, you’re on his too. 
Eddie’s eyes stay on for the remaining of the song, and you know it’s just not the lights making your body go hot and your head dizzy. He seems in his element on stage, a natural frontman as the song comes to an end. 
You almost forget to clap, and your hands feel clammy with sweat. Oh God, what is happening to you? No one has ever done anything like this for you before and you feel like you might just start twirling your hair around your finger. 
They play a few more songs, some covers and some of their own work. The crowd is still lifeless as they drink and drink until they’ve past out in their seats. But you stand up from your chair and cheer them on, not taking your eyes off Eddie. It’s almost like he’s just performing for you. He occasionally walks the length of the stage, but he always ends back up in front of you. 
When they wrap up the last song Eddie jumps down from the stage and grips your arms tightly.“Holy shit, you made it!”
“I couldn’t miss it.” You grin. “Nice guitar.”
He lets go, adjusting the strap around his shoulder and holding his guitar up for you to see.  “Well, what did you-“
“Gonna introduce us, Eddie?” The drummer interrupts as he and the other band members get down from the stage.
Eddie awkwardly steps back in line with his band. “Yeah they um- this is Gareth, our drummer.”
He nods his head at you, twirling one of the drumsticks between his fingers.
“This is Jeff, our bass player.” He raises a hand to and you smile.
“And finally, Kevin, our other guitarist.” Kevin simply stands there, staring at you. 
Yep, that’s the drooler. 
You wave at them before shoving your hands into your pockets. “My name’s-“
“Oh we’re already know who you are.” Jeff chuckles. 
“So you’re this infamous tutor we’ve been hearing so much about.” Gareth grins as he slaps Eddie’s back, making him step forward. 
Your eyebrows raise as you look at Eddie. “You talk about me?”
“Oh he doesn’t stop talk-“
Eddie not so subtly elbows Gareth in the gut and hands him his guitar. “And I think that’s our queue to leave. Start packing up the equipment and I’ll go and unlock the van. Give me five minutes.”
They all nod their heads and Eddie turns to you. “Follow me.”
He leads you to the back of the stage and opens the door, stepping to the side. “Ladies first.”
You chuckle, wrapping your coat around yourself tighter as you step into the alleyway. He follows behind you, lighting a cigarette before reaching for his keys and unlocking the back of the van.
“So c’mon, be honest, what did you really think?”
“You’re great!” You grin. “Felt very flattered that a song was dedicated to little ol’ me.”
Eddie rubs the back of his neck nervously. “It’s a cover of a Van Halen song.”
“Well it’s a… Cool song. You’re amazing on the guitar by the way. How long have you been playing?”
“Uh, since I was ten. My dad bought me a guitar, and I taught myself I guess.”
You nod, leaning against the wall. “Well I think you’re pretty damn talented, Munson.”
He puts his hand against the wall above you, the cigarette hanging from his lips. “So what happened to that important party?
“Wasn’t really my scene. Just a bunch of drunk basketball players looking to get lucky.” You smile, reaching up and grabbing the cigarette before placing it in your mouth and inhaling.
Eddie’s eyebrows raise. “Didn’t realise Angel Face smoked.”
You shrug, exhaling slowly. “Just socially. You haven’t corrupted me just yet.”
“Not yet, huh?”
You grin, handing him back the cigarette. “Sounds like you want to be a bad influence on me.”
“Maybe a little.” He smiles, inhaling once more before putting the cigarette out against the wall and flicking it away.
“I’m glad you made it.” He says softly.
“Me too.” You smile. “You were amazing, I didn’t realise you could sing like that, and you…” You trail off, your mouth going dry as you freeze under Eddie’s gaze. But it’s nothing like Chris’ earlier. You feel… Nervous. But in a good way. 
The mood seems to shift from friendly banter to something else, and your next inhale is shaky as he moves closer. It seems like time slows down as he pinches your chin between his thumb and finger, angling your head up to look at him. “I really wanna kiss you.”
Your gaze drops down to his lips and before you can answer him, you feel yourself moving closer, reaching to grip his shirt as you lean up.
You barley feel the brush of his lips before the backdoor of the bar flings open, light spilling onto you both like a spotlight. You step back, turning to see Gareth. 
“Ready for us to start loading up the-“ He pauses when he sees Eddie’s face.
If looks could kill, Gareth would already be ten feet under. 
“Dude, that so wasn’t five minutes.”
“We gotta pack our shit and go, man.” He says defensively.
“It’s okay. I should probably head home.” You reach for Eddie’s hand and squeeze it gently, your thumb running across his rings. “I’ll see you at school?”
“Yeah.” He grips your hand a little tighter. “Can do some studying after school Monday, maybe?”
“Oh, I uh… Kinda had plans with Stacey and Amanda…”
He nods his head, trying to hide his disappointment. “Another time then. It’s cool.”
“But, I can move it to another date.” You rush out. “We’ve got that paper due Wednesday for Miss Miller’s’ class. If you come up with a draft for Monday we can work through it.” 
“It’s okay, you don’t have to cancel plans-“
“No I want to, really.” You smile, hesitating for a moment before kissing his cheek. “I’ll see you then, Munson.”
As you turn away Eddie runs his finger across where your lips were moments ago, smiling. He turns and sees Gareth still standing in the doorway, smirking at him. 
“The fuck you looking at?”
“Nothing, just looks like you-“
 “Shut up and go and grab our shit.”

HELLO THERE PEOPLE OF TODAY AND ROBOTS OF TOMORROW! IT'S ME, CLARK!
Happy National Cartoonists Day, everyone! What, you didn't think my current computer crisis would stop me from celebrating the Holiday, did ya? Actually, it almost did. Y'see, despite this piece being drawn by hand, my computer's scanner wouldn't save the file onto my craptop. My computer's going through a processing error, meaning it's set to stop working any day now. Fortunately this hunk'a junk managed to work just long enough for me to upload the newest Sketch BOOM! Yes my friends, the Sketch BOOM is back! I figured if I could only post one thing for NCD it might as well be something covered head to toe with cartoons. Some pretty well drawn cartoons too, if you pardon me tootin' my own horn. It just feels so good to have drawn something, have it come out looking as good as it does, and to be able to upload it here on tumblr for you all to see. For the record though, screw tumblr's stupid@$$ upload size limit, I freak'n hate websites that do that! It makes me as mad as a blood-cursed Croczilla fighting a sentient mobile home, but we'll get to that in a bit. For now though, let's see what silly sketches managed to make their way onto the page, starting from the top left corner and making our way down.
Don't forget to be on the lookout for the Snow Conies, the tiny sentient species of snow cones that have invaded almost every part of the page! Can you spot all 8?
[1] DID SOMEONE SAY PIZZA? You wanna know what the downside is of drawing at the bottom of the page and working your way up is? You have tiny pockets of blank space that you're unsure what to do with. Such was the case was this corner, having been left blank after drawing #2. For a while I thought of filling the void with a cosmically charged Snow Conie in the same vein at Rosie, but the Cosmic Cutie was already part of the BOOM due to Discord shenanigans. Instead I opted for a Clarktoon that sadly hasn't been drawn in a while, that being the ever-goofy Pizza Monster. No doubt he was lured here by the scent of all the pretzel pizzas I've been eating lately. While he was here I decided to experiment with his expressions, adding more cheek to his smile. Honestly I think he looked better without them. Still, I'm happy to see him here as I hope all of you are. Now if only he'd stop hogging all the grub!
[2] EYE OF THE THERIAN Rosie isn't the only character here due to Discord shenanigans. At the beginning of every month my friend @Foxhatart opens herself up to sketch suggestions on her Kofi page. For the record, those of you wanting to help out another artist keep food in their bellies can click here. With a few of these Kofi slots still left open, Fox came to her friends asking if they had any ideas for pics involving her characters. Not knowing a ton about her characters, I joked that she ott'a draw her half-lemur girl Cath bench press a bus, her freakish strength having become a reoccurring gag via game nights. Funny as the idea was, I didn't expect Fox to actually do it. You can imagine my surprise when this popped up in my inbox a few days later. Consider this doodle a long overdue 'thank you'. Here we see the crazy Cath lifting weights with, of all peeps, Bumper! No doubt the little marshmallow's here for moral support since he can't actually build up any muscle mass. Ghost problems, am I right? Hope you enjoy this silly little sketch, Fox. Next time I'll have Cath bench-pressing your mortal nemesis; a train.
[3] TOOK ME LONG ENOUGH Despite what I said about Pizza Monster, he actually wasn't the last sketch to be included. No, that honor goes to the metal mercenary, the bodacious bot bounty hunter, the anarchistic anti-hero herself; Candy Banger! Much like the aforementioned monster I figured it had been too long since I drew Candy or really any of the robotic cast of 3K. Atop of that, Candy represented a good chance for me to use the stockpile of poses I've saved up from a thumb drive. Using one from a tumblr site called @posereference turned out to be surprisingly easier than anticipated, the only real flaw in the end being how I colored her. This is one of many coloring errors I made on this piece, Candy's hair looking more bluish purple than I had intended. Still, considering I drew her at all, I doubt Candy's complaining. Here's hoping I can draw more of her in the future, otherwise I might be riddled with bullet holes like that wall behind her. 
[4] AN AVERAGE DAY AT WHIMSYLAND And thus we've arrived to the first sketch of this compilation given to me by a friend, this one coming from @jackieariane. She and I both suffered during the Chapek administration of Disney, Jart regaling me with tales of when she dealt with rude customers at Animal Kingdom. It reminded me of when my friends AnimatedTigerGirl and RigbyH00ves worked at the Floridan Park too, all three of my companions having a surprisingly miserable experience. All these stories started melting together in my brain until I asked the question; what would happen if Brooklyn Nine Nine was set at Disneyland? Thus Whimsyland was born, albeit originally out of spite towards Chapek. I already detailed all this back in the DUDELZ from the Dumpster I posted earlier this year, but I failed to mention the human protagonist of this story, Wendy. Having been to Whimsyland once in her life at a young age, the young Vietnamese gal with OCD was immediately smitten by the place, vowing she'd someday work there. Spending the rest of her life researching the park and watching Matt Whimsy documentaries on uView, you can imagine Wendy's disappointment when she returned to the Perkiest Place on the Planet to find nothing was as perky. Whimsyland had lost its whimsy. It's here where she met Freddy Fox, the cartoon mascot of the company living in exile over how the house Matt built is being run today. In other words, what I'd imagine Mickey would be doing if he were real. Together these two kindred spirits are set to bring magic back to this wonderland! Overall I'm pleased with how the sketch turned out, though Wendy's face reminds me of my character Sue the Game Genie more than I'd prefer. Also, Fred Fox is way bigger than intended, no doubt I'll be changing that for future depictions of these two. For now though, this drawing has just enough Whimsy for my liking. 
[5] CROCZILLA: BLOOD CURSE More Discord Shenanigans! This time it's the result of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign that @burningthrucelluloid somehow roped me into yet again. Instead of robots and dragons set in a medieval fantasy however, this time it's elves and crocodiles in an approximation of the American south. One ruled by Jerimiah Strahd, a ruthless blood-sucking bastard that Alec based off Leonardo DiCaprio's character from Django Unchained. If that wasn't a sign of how crazy this campaign has become, here's an actual moment from the game. The heroic but hesitant human Jason (YoungSamurai18), the loud-mouthed scaredy cat Toby (Mr-Herp-Derp), and the silent but deadly Ed (void-android), and the equally hungry and adventurous Crocie (me, of course) were hunting for a witch named Bubba Lysiga when all of a sudden the witch brought her mobile home to life in order to attack our heroes. Worse still, she put Ed under mind control to attack his comrades. Croc got the worst of it, his HP dropping to 0 due to him falling from the house and getting stomped on by its gigantic set of wooden chicken legs. Did I mention this campaign gets strange? Well it got even crazier when a dark, shadowy entity housed in Croc's body suddenly gave him a recharge, the reptile taking the chance to mix a Heat and Growth potion he obtained earlier to become CROCZILLA! It was a moment Alec was hoping would happen in game and I didn't intend on disappointing. Same goes for this sketch, it mostly going just as envisioned in my head. The pissed off look on my green friend's face, the damage done to the rusty trailer that is the witch's house, the tiny silhouettes of Croc's teammates in said home, the heavy fog, the Earth-shattering roar in the background, it all came out great. Save for one detail. You'll notice that Croc's eyes are black with red irises in this pic. That detail's due to Croc having blood curse abilities, hence the dark entity sharing rental space in his body. As such, you'd think Croc's fire breath would be just as vibrantly red, but sadly that idea didn't occur to me until after I made the fire blue as well as the shine off every surface. Spam it! Still, coloring hiccup aside, I'm mighty proud of this pic! Hopefully so are the rest of the Barovian Bozos that make up my team. 
[6] WONDER ZIGGY, CINEPHILE FROM THE PLANET GARBONZA EVEN MORE DISCORD SHENANIGANS! Cut to a few months back and I was restructuring my Discord server, cutting down the multiple move threads it had before merging them all into one. Being the story-driven bozo I am, I quickly wrote a backstory for this thread involving an alien named Ziggy falling in love with the Earth B-Movies he was picking up on his deep space probe. So much so that he came down to our planet only to discover there were even MORE types of movies for him to enjoy! It overwhelmed him so much that he blacked out, awakening the next day having purchased a since abandoned drive-in theater on the outskirts of Clarksburg. Faced with this new impulse purchase, Ziggy followed the oldest piece of wisdom known to man or alien; Screw it. After a refurb Ziggy reopened the drive-in, screening B Movies and cinematic shlock to an appreciative public. And if you can believe it, I typed all of that out after thinking about it for five minutes. My brain is weird like that. All that said, it'd take a couple of RP sessions before I got his personality down, that being an MST3K character if the show were written by Joe-Bob Briggs. In other words, a surprisingly well educated weirdo with a deep love of Hollywood history. It'd take me a while longer before finally sketching him, basing him off the titular villain from Robot Monster, an appropriate design for someone who loves old, cheesy movies. All he was missing was a pink Hawaiian shirt and a cowboy hat. If you think he's strange, you should meet his wife Wanda, though let's save that for a future BOOM...
[7] LOOKIN' SPAM GOOD! What better way to show my friends I care than drawing them in ridiculous outfits? This sketch, the first to be included in this BOOM, is a merging of two repurposed ideas I had for other pictures. The first would've involved the Swedish menace Finjix with a fish bowl on his head much to the confusion of Alec, the recipient of a kawaii make over. I can't remember where the fishbowl idea spawned from but Sir Alec the Adorable came from him scoffing at the idea that I could make anything cute, himself included. Just you wait Alec, I'll get you someday! For now though I swapped out making him uber-adorable in favor of dressing him up like the Wasp from Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the awesome animated show he finally binge-watched on my behalf. Granted I could've drawn him as Maria Hill, the character on the show he deemed the sexiest, but it wouldn't have been as funny. After all, all Maria's outfit is a blue jumpsuit. Far less interesting than Jart's leather jacket, an image that popped into my noggin following her telling me she's learning to ride a bike. That and me desperately clinging onto the back as she gave me a ride, but that would've been harder to draw. Instead I went for the jacket, a fashion statement that would be stupid in real life since she lives in the infamously hot country of Vietnam. Yet even in the face of logic, Jart not only humored me but encouraged me to include this in the final sketch. Thank goodness she did cuz I love how it turned out, minus the green stripes that were accidentally colored black like the rest. DRATS! Not only that but she informed me that she was no longer using her fursona, instead opting to draw herself as a human from now on. DOUBLE DRATS! Ah well, I have more ideas involving 'Trang the Tyrant' as I've nicknamed her, so chances are I'll get the chance to correct both mistakes in the future. It might also give me another chance to draw myself as Super Giraffe, which was what I originally intended to do with my own fursona. Sadly the costume still needs work so instead I opted for my classic Pagonian Wizard robes. Even in the face of all these snafus, I think we all look spam good!
[8] ROSIE STARDUST, SPACE WIZARD Turns out I'm always right even when I'm spewing nonsense. Don't believe me? Plenty of peeps have made that mistake before. Take my friend Alec for example. In the midst of him running the current Strahd campaign I mentioned earlier, I jokingly tossed out the idea of Rosie transporting our heroes out of Barovia and into another universe. A cute 'What If' scenario the Dungeon Master wasted no time in shooting down. Mistaking my silly suggestion as a legit one, Alec explained how unfair it'd be for a god to play a game with a bunch of mortal meatbags. Let the record show that I never declared the sentient Einstein-Rosen Bridge to be a deity. Some alien cultures have mistaken her from one, but Rosie herself would be the first to tell you she's no holy being. Not that any of that mattered. Alec held firm to his statement, Rosie was denied access to any dungeons. For about six seconds before my buddy realized how a depowered Rosie would make a wonderful wizard for a Spelljammers campaign. Fueling this fire was his recent watching of The Owl House, imagining Rosie rocking wizard robes similar to those worn by The Good Witch Azura. Before I could say, "NOW EAT THIS SUCKA," he was leading the charge on my server of peeps demanding I draw Rosie as a space wizard. At first I was floored at the audacity! You shoot down an idea that wasn't meant to be taken seriously only for you to turn around and do so anyway? MAKE UP YOUR SPAM MIND! Then I followed Alec's example and got over it, the idea of Rosie in wizards robes too tempting a sketch not to capitalize on. In the end the only aspect of Azura that made it into the final product was the hat, minus the cute lil' crown. Everything else took cues from the fashion of @cherrysdesigns along with a style @girlofhearts101 turned me towards called whimsigoth. All of which resulting in an costume that gave Alec 'David Bowie Ziggy Stardust vibes'. It's thanks to that comment that Rosie now has a last name. Everyone, say hello to Rosie Stardust, universal explorer and space wizard!
[9] DIREKTOR AND 3D1T0-R Is there a Hollywood equivalent in the Star Wars universe? Some sort of glamorous planet where overpaid alien celebrities are shamelessly rebooting beloved classics for a profit? All while amazing writers are getting screwed out of the earnings they deserve? This was what I asked Alec during his binge watching of The Clone Wars. Surprising me once more, the Masked Maniac revealed that he had asked SIM-N the same question before, the two creating a character called The Direktor for their Monova comics. Her whole gimmick was producing hypnotic propaganda for the tyrannical Twin Emperors, a cool concept that never went anywhere due to the robotroll cutting From Destiny's Ashes short. Being the character man that I am, I decided The Direktor couldn't go to waste. Especially when she'd make such a good villain in the world of 3K and a good addition to this BOOM. After asking SIM-N for the character's original reference sheet I set out to give her a Clarktoon makeover while watching cutscenes of The Second Sister from Jedi: Fallen Order. No doubt Elizabeth Grullon's intimidating vocal performance effected my outcome, the alien movie maker now sporting a streamlined outfit along with a smugly sinister smile on her face. As apposed to her boss, the Direktor's little droid 3D1T0-R hardly changed in the transition. He was a little creepy ball to start and he's still a little creepy ball now. One that was cooked up by Alec according to SIM-N, which makes sense given our pal's passion for film editing. Once the two were fully drawn I decided to test out my shading and lighting techniques in an attempt to make her look more menacing. If the response I got from the others on Discord is any indication, I succeeded. Indeed, this fem fatale filmmaker will fit in phenomenally as a 3K villain. Now the question is to who? 
[10] JURAKISS Finally we conclude things with a sketch somewhat prompted by @zernna. Way back in August of last year she was commissioned to draw my cretaceous crusader Saura and her girlfriend Patricia enjoying a delightful day at the pool, a pic as charming as that description would imply. In my comment thanking Ze I couldn't help but laugh at how the two had already been declared a cute couple despite how I hadn't drawn the two together in my own artwork yet. The Alien Artist than demanded I draw 'moar art of them then', prompting me to ask if that was a challenge. She said yes. Though not from a lack of trying, it took me nine freak'n months to meet that challenge. Blame that on me being a picky artist since I have been meaning to draw references of these characters in the meantime. After all, Zerna got asked to draw Saura in other pics without having any color references for the Blue Beast of Fosslin. Fortunately Saura's shown up in a number of previous Sketch BOOMs, now getting to share the spotlight with Patricia here. A Patricia that would've been notably paler were it not for Alec asking if I had any markers that matched Patricia's skin tone. I didn't, but the local hobby store did! Who knew Sharpie made skintone markers? It not only helped me color in the cute Muslim girl here, but also Cath and Wendy later on. Talk about a perfect purchase! Now if only the colors of Patricia's outfit were as satisfactory. Ah well, there's always next time, since I'm pretty sure Zerna's challenge still stands. XP For now though, I hope you all enjoy this compilations of crazy scribblings fresh from my mind. If you didn't, worry not, chances are I'll be making another one soon....
MAY THE GLASSES BE WITH YOU ALL!

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
💜💜💜💜
Mod KAJiRA here,
1 year and 166 Followers (and counting!) later, this blog is still around!
I created this blog as a passion project to focus on what Miko's life was like before she came to Jasper, Nevada (the events of Transformers Prime). Those that saw the series only got a few bits of her past especially the scene with Jack from the season 1 premiere. As an artist myself, I felt the need to create some art of what her life was like...not one art, not two, but multiple pieces of what her life in Japan was like for her!
To be honest, I was a little hesitant in creating such a project since Transformers Prime is like, what? 12 years old? Would anyone wanna support this fanzine about a character from a 12-year-old show? Would that fandom for Transformers Prime be alive still? How big is the Transformers fandom exactly, especially those who loved TFP? So so many questions, oh my Primus!
But...I told myself (in the words of Shia LeBouf):
Tumblr media
So I've decided to start this Tumblr side blog made specifically for the fanzine project. After that, I started a Google Form regarding interest checks and was surprised by how many responses I got and how many people are actually interested in this zine! I never knew that fans still love TFP! I thank you all for your responses!
During the process of this project, I'm actually going through some pretty bad creative blocks at the moment such as how many pages do I want the zine to have? How should I lay out the cover, page design? Sometimes even as going far as to see if I could ask Tania Gunadi (Miko's VA) to write a foreward for the zine?
The hardest part is creating background designs since the whole Tokyo cityscape is the central part of the zine. I've been sketching out ideas and learning how to draw backgrounds lately and share some of my ideas and art to share.
But all in all, thank you so much for your patience and love for those little passion project of mine! This also started after years of constant rejections from fandom zine projects in the past so I was all like, "Screw it! I'll create one myself!"
I'm not so sure if this project will have a deadline...it's still a long progress, and I am eternally grateful for the love that this project is already getting and will in the future.
I hope y'allz are enjoying the little things I've already created for this zine, and who knows? I might show up at a TFcon to share and promote it? I've already wanted to try TFcon LA next year so I have to up my art game! LOL
In a mean time, this zine project also has a Twitter page so please give it a follow too!
I also have a Patreon as well. In the "Suh-weet!" Tier, you can get access to exclusive stuff, WIPs, early access, and more regarding the zine!

2023 Accomplishments, 2024 Hopes
I did a lot of stuff this year, so I'm gonna talk about stuff I'm happy about accomplishing this year!
Art
I made the most money ever for commissions! Almost $900 I hope to make more next year!
I finished quite a few comics as well as Cherry's first journal! Comics have always been quite difficult for me to finish, so I'm proud of being able to do a handful of them!
I got to be a featured artist in an app! That was a pretty cool experience getting to test out and draw in an app! Also getting paid to do so!
Next year, I would like to try an improve on some things with my art, finish more art, and maybe get another art job!
-----
TTRPGS
I played a LOT of DnD this year.
In my Monday game, we're closely approaching our 100th sessions and possibly the end of our first campaign! I love Cherry so much and I hope she gets through it all with the Flockless! This is the longest campaign I've ever been in and the highest level I've grown to as well. Cherry went from level 3-13 so far, how my baby has grown! We also got to play some Kids on Bikes and Pathfinder 2e which was very fun! I hope to do more games after we finish campaign 1!
With my Tuesday group, I got to make so many fun characters and also try some new TTRPGs too! I'm excited for all the fun little things we'll get to do next year! I love Manon and hope we figure out the nature of this world.
I hope to finally run something next year for my friends next year, but we'll see how it goes!
-----
Video Games
I played a fuck ton of games this year. I got really into simulation games because I find them relaxing and nice.
The games I beat this year:
Garden in!
Paradise Marsh
Flying Neko Delivery
Unpacking
Lumbearjack
Terra Nil
Alba A Wildlife Adventure
Mail Time
Katamari Damacy Reroll
We Love Katamari Reroll
Frog Detective 3
Sticky Business
Pikmin 4
Garden Buddies
Pizza Tower
Loddlenauts
Moonstone Island
Frogsong
Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe
I'm excited for a fuckton of indie games coming out next year and for the Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door remake. I need to beat the original before it comes out but we'll see how that goes.
My favourite games this year were Pikmin 4, Pizza Tower, Loddlenauts and Moonstone Island for sure!
-----
Life
No major changes happened in my life this year. I'm hoping next year I have more luck in finding an art job, but overall, I'm pretty ok with where I am.Working at a grocery store will always suck, but I'm at least making enough money to buy things I like and help my family out a bit.
I went to my first Pride parade this year. When I was sitting at the subway waiting for my friends to arrive I almost cried because seeing the sheer amount of queer people around was just heart-warming and made me feel like it was all gonna be ok. I got my first ace flags, one of which is on my desk near Rawhide. I also got handed a paper for black queer people which was a lil funny. I also got a lot of compliments on my outfit which felt very good.
Mental health wise, it's also been very ok. I'm hoping to get more support in terms of my ADHD meds since I've been on the same dosage for a while and things could be better.
-----
Lastly...
This is a lil sappy, but I wanna say thanks to all my friends and my sister for making this life worth living. I haven't been in a depressive rut in a long time because of those I love, the things I love, and the things I'm looking forward to. Life for me isn't always rainbows and sunshine, but I'm always happy about the small things that make it worthwhile. I'm looking forward to making and sharing more art with my friends, playing video games and TTRPGs, and just doing what I enjoy in life!

Well it’s 1am but I absolutely have to finally write one of these posts, don’t read if you don’t wanna be teleported to a sad 1am post of mine from 5 years ago or be consumed by gigacringe (this post is not sad but cw for some as-expected negative mental health stuff/actions I’ll be mentioning, from my past.)
I really don’t think I can even begin to articulate how important Super Mario RPG is to me. When I was a kid - like I’m talking 2006-ish - my Thing(tm) was Earthbound. We didn’t say “fandom” back then. Besides Pokemon and Zelda, it became my THING and I fell so in love with it. A weird part of internet Earthbound culture back then was that you were mad at Super Mario RPG for making Earthbound sell poorly. I know, it’s insane, I was 15 cut me a fucking break.
So yeah that was all intrinsically linked with Smash, obviously. I was online during the pre-release of Brawl days, browsing places like /v/, and there was all this talk of this guy Geno. I didn’t know who Geno was! One time I did a Deviantart Journal “quiz” thing, and one question was, “Who is a video game character you hate?” My response was “I dunno, that Geno guy”. A friend of mine at the time was like “??? Like SMRPG Geno? How could you hate him?” and me being a teenager, I was like well, I’m annoyed that everyone talks about him.
Stuff got weird pretty quickly. An artist I had a goofy little crush on drew Geno. And I went, huh. Okay.
Then Brawl came out. I won’t even get into all of that because this is about SMRPG, but people ripped data off the disks and found unused stuff. Like unused music. I was mad about the unused Earthbound music, and the Ballad of the Wind Fish. Boo!
But then someone made a fun little album, called “Brawl - The Lost Tracks”. They got together “as official as possible” versions of the songs that had gone unused and only existed as text files on the disk. This included Beware the Forest’s Mushrooms (I’ve made angry posts before about how wrong the Cutting Room Floor page is about this track NOT being BTFM - ask me about it sometime and I’ll start screaming)
So one day I downloaded this little album. And I remember exactly where I was sitting, I listened to a couple of the EB songs like yeah, alright. Then there was a nice remix of the ballad of the wind fish. Then I saw beware the forest’s mushrooms and I thought, well. Why not. It’s a song. I like music.
It was the official arrange from the arrangement album. Until Memoria it was 100% the most beautiful rendition of the song to ever exist. And I lost my goddamn mind. I had never heard a song so gorgeous and I was instantly so upset with myself for being such a stubborn dork about SMRPG for so long (imagine that, me, stubborn!!)
So it all kinda hit me like a truck. I remember the day I first saved a piece of Geno fanart, like a day after I heard the song, and I was GOT. I thought oh, maybe he’s kinda cute, and it all just spiraled into hell. When I was a kid I was all into people drawing him as a Cool Anime Bishounen, but now I’m extremely cool and am like “Doll only, please!” unless it’s the goofy cute human design I have for him. But really I prefer doll. ANYWAYS.
During my high school years my life was... uh, rough. I was dealing with domestic violence in my home and we were more than once kicked out of our house and had to scramble to find a place to stay temporarily. While I was still just going to classes. I wound up failing my 11th grade English class because I often didn’t have access to a computer with internet or a printer and couldn’t do my assignments. My teacher didn’t ask why I was suddenly not finishing assignments, she just failed me. I went to summer school and it wound up being one of the best experiences of my life though. So, you know.
Throughout all this bullshit I like, had Geno. I had a reason to look up at the starry sky and make wishes and track meteor showers. It was something to like, keep my going again. Unsurprisingly I was DEEPLY struggling with my mental health. I was self-harming, and was just in general doing Very Fucking Not Great and felt like I had nowhere to turn. To this day my family like, doesn’t let me talk about this situation, and I received no help or support from any of them during this. Things are better now, but holy fuck, man. It was just my mom and I dealing with domestic violence and homelessness and no one was helping us.
But I had him. I had the “will he be in Smash someday?” shit. I had the Smash speculation community. I had SMRPG fans who were all like-minded cool people who loved how much I loved Geno, because they loved him too! He was like a fucking life raft for me in one of the worst periods of my whole existence and always felt like an anchor when things were spiraling out of control.
And it feels so corny to talk about it, because oh Nuke, you’re always dramatic about characters. But damn, did it fucking hurt when “friends” were just straight up fucking mean to me about Smash stuff for years on end. Damn did it hurt when I tried to express how important this shit was to me, and it was written off as me being ridiculous about a Video Game, you know? Would therapy have been good? Maybe. I tried it as an adult after being pressured into it by my ex and it was an actual nightmare because the only therapist in my area with hours compatible with my job who took my insurance was like 24 years old and told me straight to my face she didn’t want to talk about things I liked because she didn’t understand them. So maybe not! But I had this something, something so important to me, and it felt like everyone around me was so fucking Tired of me caring so much about something. It felt like everyone was tired of ME. And I was tiring of myself too, and it fucking sucked! It really did.
A couple years ago I finally let go of all the rage and sorrow in my heart and I’ve been doing so, so well. I found myself so suddenly surrounded by people who fucking care about me, and who are like “Oh, I don’t know that character, tell me about them! You love them so much!”, and people who invite me over to their house to just sit and watch Transformers or build model kits. People tell me to my face “I don’t think you’re annoying” when I compare myself to Rodimus, and I get actively invited to things. Wow! It’s been so fucking NICE. It sucks to have such nightmares in my past to compare this all to, but man, the difference is insane.
So it’s like. I wanted this to happen years ago. I wanted them to announce a SMRPG remake, or something, a few years ago when I was at my worst, when people were treating me like shit, when friends of my SO were being huge assholes to me only for my SO to say “hmm I think you’re making that up because you’re dramatic”.
But it didn’t. And I got through everything with my own strength. And now I’m at my absolute best, and I get this now. I get it once I’ve moved past all those miserable negative people who treated me like garbage. I don’t have to rub it in their faces and be like “Look, I got this far, I’ve made it and I won over all the SHIT”. Because none of them are here anymore and they don’t matter to me.
I got so many messages across all my social medias, even from people who I haven’t actually spoken to in some time (but still exist in internet circles with, you know how online friendships are), so many people saying oh my god, Nuke, I’m so happy for you, holy shit congratulations, this is amazing I can’t believe it.
I love you all so fucking much, I love Super Mario RPG so fucking much, all of you and this game are so important to me I don’t even know if 4k more words of rambling nonsense can express it. I am at such a good place in my life now, I want to spread that positivity and do my best to be good to people and to the world that has been so good to me these past few years. Despite how this year started, it hasn’t felt like a negative shroud over me. Just another challenge to overcome, and I’ve overcome literally everything put in front of me so far. Nothing is phasing me anymore and I’m doing so GREAT.
I’m so happy the remake is happening at a time when I’m at my best. I didn’t need anyone to save me before, and now this will just lift me higher. And I can truly enjoy it, as a joyful gift, as opposed to hoping it will be a life raft getting me out of a flood. I can truly enjoy it for what it is and what it’s meant to be.
A beautiful, delightful, very funny little video game, about Mario and all his weird little friends.
I don’t think I’ll even mind having to say goodbye to Geno at the end, again. Because I know now, there’s nothing stopping him from coming back.
And hey, SMRPG’s not a very long game. I can always replay it. And Geno will always be there.
Always.

do you have any tips for writing/making/maintaining a nuzlocke comic? i've always wanted to work on a complete run but it can be hard to do so, how do you update so consistently? btw i love your comic, it's an imaginative take on the hoenn games' storyline, the characters' designs are lovable and unique and the main team has great dynamics with each other!
I've got a few tips for this. This lil recipe is basically the secret to how I'm able to upload so often. (Also, thank you so much for the compliments aaaah!)
Simple art. Simple art, simple art, simple art. Do not overcomplicate it, don't draw in more details than you need to, don't use your comic art to try to one-up other artists. Your comic art should be good enough to not detract from the quality of the storytelling, and that's it. That should be as far as you go in a comic. Because FYR's art so so simple, I'm able to complete pages usually in about 2 hours of time. It's extremely clutch for getting a big backlog, it'll save your arm strength and help prevent injuries, and going faster tends to help me stay mentally motivated as well.
Build good habits. I habitually do some drawing every morning after breakfast. I'm a morning person so I have a lot of energy in the mornings, so it's a good time to sit down and try to crank out a page or two. Making comic art part of your regular routine is so important when you've got hundreds of pages to draw. You don't want it to be something you just get around to whenever you feel like it or have some extra energy. If you wanna upload consistently, like once a week or more, you've gotta keep drawing. And it's a lot better to steadily churn out pages on the regular as opposed to blasting through a bunch when you've got the energy and then cyclically burning yourself out.
Love your story. Love the story you're telling with your comic. Love your story so much your heart bleeds for it. Love your story so much you couldn't imagine not finishing it. When you do a comic, you wanna choose the project that is gonna draw the most passion, the most FIRE out of you. Trying to draw a comic for a story you're only lukewarm on is the reason most comic artists don't make it past chapter one. Love your story so fucking much that it grabs you by the collar and DEMANDS to be drawn. Draw the story that you couldn't possibly leave this earth without having brought into fruition. Love your work and it will breed loyalty for your work. Love everything you do. Cheer yourself on. Celebrate every panel, every page. They are all treasures. Love, love, love is the key to comicking.

Hi! :)
I'm daemion (he/it 22) literally a cat in real life unfortunately sorry
trans (T💉since 3/21/23) and bi lol
I post art sometimes and make nonsense posts.
Name tags are exclusively my original characters. I don't tag any characters for fandoms, as I'm not really in any fandoms.
My interests/hobbies: Writing, drawing, comics/manga, and Video games (splatoon, terraria, minecraft, free mmo type games).
dni: terfs, transphobes, etc. i block people !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My projects:
+: My main project. Currently on my tenth draft of it that makes pretty significant changes to the plot, structure, and characters. It's about a group of young adults trying to find out what happened to two of their friends who went missing.
I really like + and i enjoy talking about it more than any other project. I've been working on it since late 2015 so there are a lot of different versions of it. The most important drafts (ones I talk about the most) are draft 2, 7, 8, 9 and the most current one 10. Draft 6 is also relevant because it is the worst version that has written content. Drafts 1, 3, 4, and 5 most exist as notes and art, draft 1 is entirely physical comics I drew in 2015, so I don't have much to say about them.
If you're curious about any specifics about the project, please feel free to ask questions about it! I'm currently trying to motivate myself to write out comprehensive character information and make full designs for a lot of the characters.
When talking about specific aspects of + drafts I try to tag the draft (example: draft 9 +) and any characters discussed. This is mainly for me and a lot of them are contextualized fully because they're for me, but if you wanna look you can :)
Characters: David, Chris, Valentine, Eli, Clementine, Madi, Olive, Jay, Jaxson, Evan, Vincent, Vanessa, and a few more, but the main ones you'll be hearing about on my blog are the first 5 listed.
She Saw: My comic based on an old draft of +, draft 2. A 3 and half part long story about a lesbian who finds the dead body of one of her best friend's boyfriends and gets sucked into a conflict involving that, all the while experiencing high school and seeing horrific visions. What is complete of it is posted on tumblr and DA as well as a few other comic sites? I believe. If you're interested its @shesawcomic, I haven't worked on completing it since 2019.
If your curious about the + connection, every character in She Saw has a direct analog in draft 2 + character. The main character, who's name isn't revealed until the end of the current part, is Veronica (now Madi) from +, Faith is Valentine, the unnamed boy is Daemion (now David), Terrance is Chris (arguably also Eli, they are interchangeable in draft 2), Mary is Mary, Kate is Kathy. There was an additional character who was not revealed at the time I stopped writing, and was the only character without a + analog, though her situation could be based on a number of characters I've written before. Everything I write is derivative of itself.
Characters: Her (shesaw), him (shesaw), Terrance, Faith, Mary, Kate. (All of them got finished refs this summer :D)
WWW: New project. A comic based on an old draft of +, draft 2, 3, and 4. Unlike She Saw, which sought to recreate the high school segment of draft 2 (a, if I am remembering correctly, 16 page long section) WWW seeks to replicate and add on to the main plot of draft 2, taking into consideration traits added to the characters after that draft. The comic is about Cici who lives in the middle of nowhere on a dairy farm separated from the rest of society until a woman named Juliet comes and helps him escape. Juliet, a woman obsessed with obscure religious groups, practices, and magic, convinces Cici help her work towards her goal of achieving immortality. Unfortunately, when they do achieve something, it's not a glamorous as Juliet described it to be. - WWW is an abbreviation of a test/temporary name that might not stick.
Similar to She Saw, WWW characters also has connections to + characters, but they're really obvious in my mind so i'm just choosing to have that be a funny thing that people who know + characters would notice.
Characters: Cici, Juliet, Sammy.
Seagull: Another newer project. A comic/short story about a half wolf half human man who's sent to work and live on a "lighthouse" in the middle of the ocean to keep watch for "something in the water". He quickly discovers that his lighthouse has attracted a strange angel that resembles the seagulls.
Characters: Jupiter, Seagull (haven't named him yet), Coral
For the 3 projects that are not + listed above, I'm happy to answer any questions! WWW is my main focus aside from +, She Saw is in limbo, and Seagull is kind of a side project.

look I'm still here for the spider trust me
I've just been more focused on writing for my art recently so what can ya do?
So if you aren't here for plok lore rambles, uh. Yeah.
Tumblr media
Surprise! Spider art!
Thats it for drawings. (Beta Womack on a MTG Card) Anyways plok lore.
There's not a lot of it. Shocker, right? At least around the game. We're gonna give knowledge on all the characters I can.
We can infer that there were 3 "Ploks" total. Grandpappy Plok, (Mystery Dad Plok), and Game Plok. (Mystery Dad Plok) is heavily implied if not outright stated in the webcomic to be the Plok that would have been in the cancelled arcade game Fleapit.
The Bobbins. What to say about the Bobbins. They're very cut and dry "failed circus acrobats turned thugs for hire". We all know about Irving by this point, I hope. If you don't; yeah, there's a third bobbins. He's green. He's my favorite because I can see him not being a total jerkwad like the others (from 1 line of dialogue).
The Penkinos. They're magicians. They kill everyone that attends their shows apparently. They're very purposefully vague and mysterious. How do they turn pretty much invincible when fully ballooned? God I wish to unsee what I have seen when it comes to living balloons.
Womack.? Yeah. Surprise surprise, we have 'he's a cool dude who thinks he's king of all he sees'. Why make a whole fan page about all of that? Because. He's a cool as heck spider!!! And I want to see cool as heck spiders succeed.
Fun Womack Fact; In Game Womack was designed by Lyndon Brooke. His in-game sprite came before any art of him outside the game.
Rockyfella, the dirt spirit that hates flagpoles. I mean, if someone stuck a bunch of signs and flagpoles in my body, I wouldn't be happy either! Uh, Grandpappy digs up one of his heads somehow. Read the webcomic, he's there a lot.
Fleas! Look. I don't personally care about fleas enough to look at the manual. There's more about fleas than any other character aside from plok.
My personal thoughts?
I dislike the Ploks. They're on the lower end of my character interests here.
My favorite headcanon; Game Plok was a younger teen during the games. Because he comes across as a little pest during them, or at least childish (derogatory).
I enjoy the Bobbins. Still not high tier but I have a soft spot for the worst characters (people wise) you will ever meet.
My favorite headcanon; Irving, after he left, decided to go to trade school. It's a funny image in my head okay shhh.
The penkinos. I wanna like them. But read the last sentence of their prior section.
My favorite headcanon; Those shapes and patterns on them? Mostly paint and decals. They are smooth, single color beans under that.
Womack! Read my URL. I love this spider sm. He's just a funky dude! He's canonically cool, I mean, seriously, look at him. Beta Womack's official art is so sad tho.
My favorite headcanon; He has an eye for interior design. Sure, that eye loves as many sunset colors as he can get, but its still an eye!
Rockyfella, up there, cool guy, deserves to not have flagpoles stuck in him. I cannot draw buff guys atm so he has been a struggle.
My favorite headcanon; everyone asks him to flavor their food. 'Salt is a rock, isn't it?' He is not amused.
Fleas. So many, and they're pretty much just simpleminded animals. I enjoy the legs.
My favorite headcanon; If you lifted them up, they would just go longcat with their legs. Folded up, they look manageable. Unfolded, those tendies are LONG.
Anyways that's my plok lore ramble for the plok community. Have a good day!
